Immigration Museum...!!!

Flowing traffic in Flinder's Street, Melbourne - In front of Immigration Museum...
First something about this lovely place...

The Immigration Museum explores the stories of real people from all over the world who have migrated to Victoria.
Located in the Old Customs House in the heart of the Melbourne city, the museum re-creates the real-life stories of coming to Australia with a rich mix of moving images, personal and community voices, memories and memorabilia.
From the reasons for making the journey, to the moment of arrival in a new country, and the impact on indigenous communities, these stories are sometimes sad, sometimes funny, but always engaging.
The result is a thought-provoking and moving experience.

Now the story of this shot...


Living in Melbourne for almost five years now, I never had a chance to get in and explore what is in this building. I always hear amazing stuff about this building from friends and whenever I hop into the city circle tram for a free ride.


Somehow more intriguing for me was the architecture of the building from outside than inside. I always wanted to do this shot. But never really had the time and patience to get in front there and do the thing. 


This particular day was a golden opportunity. There were photographers everywhere in Melbourne. It was the day when Trey Ratcliff came to Melbourne for a photo walk. It was a very long evening of walking. But in the end very happy with the result.


I would love to explain how it's inside this building as well, but that's after I get in there some day, sometime in the very near future.


Cheers,
